Thus, by worshiping and protecting the land, followers are paying homage and respect to the Mother of their Mother, who in turn protects and provides for them. Followers of Tunare will fight to the death to protect nature in all its forms. Many Druids, Rangers, and a great many of elves follow the ways of Tunare.

It basically says what all spirituality tries to say... all things are interconnected and important and nurturing your environment is beneficial to all. AFAIK there's even room to say the Tunarians believe in being reincarnated into their natural environments and so wish to maintain peaceful and bountiful forests in balance and harmony with all things.
You're talking about the concept of "oneness", and to say that all spirituality expresses it is to have an extremely narrow definition of spirituality. The concept is widespread in Eastern religion/thought and it generally goes further than just suggesting that everything is connected. Oftentimes it expresses the belief that there is no difference between any one thing and any other thing, and that nothing at all could exist if any one thing (atom, table, soul, whatever) were to cease existing. Prime example being the Buddhist concept of non-self, which denies the existence of the concept of "self" we're used to here in the West.

But yeah Tunare easily best religion in EQ. Quellious a close second.
